10 Recent Movies That Made INSANE Choices

10. Lens Flares Everywhere - In the Lost Lands

While few were likely expecting much from Paul W.S. Anderson's new dark fantasy film In the Lost Lands - even with source material penned by the great George R.R. Martin - Anderson basically went above and beyond to make the film as visually garish as possible.

Even if you can forgive how relentlessly plastic and fake the digital backgrounds throughout the movie look, Anderson's big aesthetic faux pas was to drown almost every frame of the movie in an eyesore-inducing number of lens flares.

Pretty much every single light source featured in the film gives off a prominent flare, and given that many scenes contain dozens of lights, we end up with the screen basically flooded with these distracting artefacts.

It's enough to make J.J. Abrams' infamous penchant for lens flares seem positively restrained, and is a strong enough choice that it's far more likely to be remembered than anything that actually happens in the film's story. 

Never do this again, Paul, please.
